Do the sample data provide evidence that the husband is usually older than the wife among couples applying for marriage licenses in that county?

Ho: husband is not older or same
Ha: husband is older
alpha=0.05 p{reject Ho|Ho true}
critical value z >1.645, z= (p1-0.5)/sqrt(0.5*0.5/n)
z=(0.69-0.50)/sqrt (0.25/94)
=0.19/0.0515
=3.69
reject Ho and accept the alternative in this case.
p-value =0.0002
